Mercury Rising (Or Rather, Risen)

So the weather report is calling for a hot one in Arizona this upcoming Sunday. With a projected high of 93F, Coach Joel decided it would be a worthwhile character building endeavor to have me to the heat acclimatization protocol. So, I set up shop in the bathroom with two 1500w space heaters and a thermometer, and I was off to the races. The first day was hard. REALLY hard. Here I am on day #5, which was not too bad at all. So far, the best movie for training has been “Terminator 2: Judgement Day.” There’s a lot of action, so it makes the time really go by a lot faster. Good headphones to quiet the noise of the trainer is also good. Remember to hydrate! 🙂

  2. AWESOME. So Simon gets a fancy trailer with scientists in labcoats and you get to ride in the can. I see the hierarchy… Looks like you’re race ready. Knock ’em dead, bro. Make Rutger HURT. 🙂
